Dumb Brahmin

A dumb Brahmin came to Akkalkot and rendered devotional service for nearly twelve years. Thus he completed his penance. Then one day he came under the kind grace of Sri Swamiji. Sri Swamiji gave him the Tambul ^[1] from his mouth and said, “Eat this Tambul. And carry on your works”. No sooner that Brahmin ate the ‘Tambul’, his speech was restored and started talking outright. Thus the dumb Brahmin was freed from his distressful condition.

Dumb Manyaba

There was a Brahmin in Maindargi village. He had five children who were all dull. Unfortunately due to ill fate, the Brahmin, his wife, and four of his children died. Only one son named Manyaba survived. Manyaba was dumb and mentally dull. Being shelter less, for twenty-five years he was roaming about in the village. He would eat something and sleep anywhere. By sheer chance some people from Maindargi village came to Akkalkot to take Sri Swamiji’s ‘Darshan’. They brought Manyaba along with them. They made Manyaba prostrate on the lotus feet of Sri Swamiji for his kind mercy.

Then Sri Swamiji spoke “Dumb man, what do you want? ”. Being dumb, what would he say? Those people accompanying him prayed to Sri Swamiji “Maharaj, have kind mercy and cure his dumbness and mental dullness”. Then they left Manyaba under the shelter of Sri Swamiji. Later on Manyaba remained at Akkalkot under the shelter of Sri Swamiji. Eventually after a while Manyaba came under the kind mercy of Sri Swamiji. He was dumb but now he learnt to talk in Marathi and Kannada languages. Later on he also gained some super human powers. He became a fully accomplished person.
